Bvlgari exhibition in Venice

The most expensive timepiece ever made by the company, the Serpenti Misteriosi Romani has a value of nearly two million euros.

This spectacular creation is set with numerous precious stones: the snake’s head is crowned with a 10-carat sapphire from Sri Lanka, while the reptile’s body and scales are adorned with more than 60 carats of diamonds and 35 carats of sapphires.

This magnificent work pays homage to Bvlgari’s Roman roots, gladiators and antique jewellery. As sensual and sinuous as the creature that inspired it, the cuff bracelet features a coiled serpent and is set with baguette-cut diamond scales, so that the wrist blends into the pattern to become one with the snake.
